Well the day started out early......had breakfast and was on the road before 8AM - we were going to get to Calgary before we stopped. We were about 50 miles out of Billings (picture of Porter's on bike was taken right before) when Porter's bike blew the transmission or drive shaft coming down one of the hills. Luckily they are fine, the bike is in the repair shop in Billings and Porter's have rented a car to drive to Alaska. They are our rescue car! I hope they won't have to rescue us from anything...........

Once we knew Porter's were in good hands with AAA, we forged ahead to Great Falls. We went over the Castle Mountains & Belt Mountains. You can see from the pictures, we ran into some snow - including a white out when we were on top! What a beautiful (and cold) experience. I would take that any day over the wind we had the day before in ND!

Your Blog just keeps getting more interesting and I'm hooked on following you guys. You're going to be seeing a lot more beautiful places and the weather is only going to get better. Just think of the hot and humid days now behind you, and the relaxation you're gonna have when you reach my place.Later, and safe triking and driving, Randy. Me living in the land of the last frontier, and loving it.

Well, I'm up to date on the trip. Couldn't make Linda's blog work. Are you using the same one? Sorry about the motocycle blowing up. Glad no one was hurt. Especially the newlyweds. Have fun.
